<---------------------------------------------------------
Celebrate Valentine's Day down at the Moulin Rouge, and get swept away
with a special romance-drenched screening of the swoony, sweaty,
spectacular 2001 musical MOULIN ROUGE!
Cross LA BOHÈME with CABARET, throw in a little bit of RENT, and you
might almost begin to describe director Baz Luhrmann's visually
opulent, fast-paced, funny, heartrending extravaganza. The film, which
garnered a whopping eight Oscar nominations (including Best Picture
and Best Actress) is a musical fantasy of star-crossed lovers
searching for romance (and ultimately finding tragedy) in 1899 Paris
at the notorious Montmartre cabaret club, the Moulin Rouge.
Nicole Kidman stars as the high-kicking courtesan, Satine; Ewan
McGregor as the sensitive poet, Christian; and John Leguizamo as the
flamboyant artist and matchmaker, Toulouse-Lautrec. Luhrmann's use of
eclectic lighting and saturated color, the fast zooms and quick cuts
of his camera, and the tricked-out costumes and sets perfectly capture
the excess and freneticism for which the Moulin Rouge was famous, as
the film spectacularly brings to life the culture of belle époque
Paris with sweetly saucy magical realism.
Before the movie kicks off, we'll set the Valentine's mood with a free
raffle for romantic goodies and a group sing-a-long to the film's
romantically raunchy hit song LADY MARMALADE, from Christina Aguilera
and company. Voulez vous coucher avec moi, ce soir?
